Arrival of the Columbus from London

The ship Columbus, 1,277 tons, Captain Adie, arrived yesterday 
evening, and anchored off the North Head. She left the Downs on the
16th June, and took her final departure from Ushant on the 24th June.
Experienced light N.E. trades, and crossed the line on the 27th July,
in 25o 11' W longitude. The S.E. trades proved moderate, and the
meridian of the Cape was made on the 23rd August. From thence strong
W. and S.W. winds prevailed. She ran down her easting as far as 59o S,
and passing to the south of Tasmania, sighted the North Cape on
Saturday last. The barque Guadelette, hence, was spoken on the 4th
instant, in longitude 163o 10' E, latitude 34o S.

The Columbus was despatched by Messrs Green, Robinson and Co. She is
a fine large ship, and has good accomodation. Her commander, Captain
Adie, has been presented with a testimonial by the passengers, as a
token of their appreciation of his abilities as a mariner, and of the
manner in which he has performed his duties. Most of the passengers
appear to be in good health, and the ship is in a cleanly state. The
following is a list of her passengers and cargo:-

"Dear Sir, - We, the undersigned passengers by the ship Columbus, from
London to Auckland, having experienced your great kindness, 
consideration, and gentlemanly behaviour during the passage are 
desirous of hereby testifying our grateful appreciation of the same;
and ere, we part, beg, as a small token of our esteem, to offer you
our most sincere and heartfelt thanks. In conclusion, we beg to wish
both you and your wife every happiness and all this world's joys. -
We remain yours, &c."

The ship 'Columbus' arrived off the North Head last evening from

The following is a list of their trades and occupations:- 13 farm
labourers, 28 servants, 14 labourers, 2 ironmongers, 20 farmers, 1

New Zealand Herald 11 Oct 1864
Arrival of the Columbus from London

The fine ship Columbus, Captain Robert Adie, arrived off the Heads
yesterday evening, after a pleasant passage of 115 days from the
Downs.

The following are the particulars of her passage:
- Passed through the Downs on the 16th June, taking her final
departure from Ushant on the 24th. Passed outside the Cape De Verd
Islands, experiencing very light N.E. trades; crossed the Equator
on the 27th July, in longitude 25o 11'W., and had very moderate S.E.
trade winds; crossed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on the
23rd August, running down her easting between the parallels of 40o
and 49o; in these latitudes, W. and S.W. winds were encountered with
very squally, wet weather. Off Tasmania, had a hard gale from the 
N.E., which drove her down as far as 50o S.; after that light winds
prevailed, and the North Cape was rounded at 11.30am, on Sunday last.

The only ship connected with the Colonies spoken during the passage,
was the barque Guadalette, five days out from this port, on the 5th
inst., in longitude 163o 10' E., latitude 34o S.; wished to be
reported.

The Columbus brings 189 passengers, all in good health, and the ship
has arrived in a clean and creditable condition. There were two
deaths on the passage - one a child, and the other a young man named
Robert William Blankam, aged 30 years, who died of consumption on the
29th July. There were also two births on the passage.

Capt. Adie is well spoken of by the passengers, and seems to have won
their highest esteem, as will be seen by the following testimonial,
which we have much pleasure in giving publicity to:-

"To Captain Robert Adie, Ship Columbus.
Dear Sir, We the undersigned passengers by the ship Columbus, from
London to Auckland, having experienced your great kindness, 
consideration, and gentlemanly behaviour during the passage, are
desirous of hereby testifying our grateful appreciation of the same,
and, ere we part, beg, as a small token of our esteem, to offer you
our most sincere and heartfelt thanks. In conclusion we beg to wish
both you and your wife every happiness and all this world's joys.
Subscribing ourselves, Yours faithfully' (Signed by all the 
passengers)"

The ship will come up harbour this morning.
